I'm looking for a tech support job that's based in New Brunswick, the reason I want to look for a job in NB is the province is very calm and welcoming also it's not too far from Quebec City where my relatives live.

Any help will be appreciated

Someone over in r/canadianforces is trying to track down any remaining family from a Private O. G. Leblanc.

Just felt like sharing as I never seen this discussed here.

Also full disclaimer I know gas vehicle owners won't be impressed when I say that driving Moncton to Quebec in Oct. 2023 took me 12 hours instead of the usual 8 in my Electric car (Kona with 400KM range). There were really only 4-5 fast, level 3 chargers between Moncton and Quebec. And some were out of order, or often occupied, or needing yet another app install, or not charging at full speed. Not to mention they were hidden in some dark area behind buildings next to dumpsters. All that said, still I dont really mind, or regret anything. I enjoy the new road-trip experience and it brings me back to being a kid, pre-GPS, helping my dad with the map as we look for a specific road or place or a gas station.

Anyways, fast forward to Oct. 2024, driving again to Quebec city to see Maiden took 2 WHOLE HOURS LESS. Still not an 8 hour drive but 10 is a major improvement and made me really happy. Electrify America has installed banks of 4x fast chargers in both Woodstock and Grand Falls. These are well built, with solar canopies that charge evening lights. Also, no apps needed, just plug in and swipe your CC. Thats it. Easy peasy. Many other new fast charge stations have also gone up at dealerships and gas stations. Not once did I wait for a charger, find a broken one or drive around looking for one.

That's it pretty much.

I'm buying a used car here in Nee Brunswick, but the car is from Ontario. Will the Ontario safety inspection allow me to at least register the car in New Brunswick, and receive some sort of temporary plates etc before I can get the NB MVI?

A good friend may have become a father today, but the mother cheated on him so he’s not sure. Does anybody know if a paternity test is covered by the province?

Cheers in advance for any help!

Asking for a friend: are there any family law lawyers out there that would take on a case pro-bono in NB? My friend makes too much money to qualify for legal aid, but also can’t afford paying out of pocket anymore. She’s navigating a challenging separation/divorce and has begun to represent herself. Any help?

My mum and I found a few boxes from the family collection while packing and found this- anyone know where/who/what this place or person is??

I live in southern NB and am considering selling them my car. Has anyone on here done this? Where and when do they usually have pick ups happening?

I just got laid off yesterday after almost 3 years at my WFH job… anyone have any leads on work from home jobs in NB?

Hello!

So I’m currently living in one of those apartment buildings that are falling apart due to that engineer cutting corners and I just found out. I am trying to cancel my lease early because I do not feel safe, and the landlord told me I have to stay there until September 2025.

Any recommendations to get out of this?

THANK YOU!!

Have exhausted every other avenue for the time being to get my wife and I some form of income. We have 8+ years in customer service in person and over the phone, two NBCC diplomas, the whole works. Was rejected from Walmart twice without an interview, as well as multiple call centers. It's been an awful 6 months.

Wondering what social assistance is like for new brunswick, I heard it was max $400 per person and that was if you were accepted.

Sorry if it sounds like I'm just making excuses/looking for pity. Just want to know if anyone in similar situations to ours has had any luck and what the processing times were like. Thank you.

Seeing as the Greens lost ground despite a very unpopular Higgs, how long do you think Coon will last as leader of the Greens?

On one hand, I can see Coon staying on purely because they might lose Fredericton South without him (i.e. there's no one to replace him). On the other hand, I can see him resigning to make room for for some desperately needed fresh blood in the party...which is also very risky.

Either way, his options are not good. I honestly think the Greens have peaked in 2020 and it's all downhill from here. If they can't even gain ground with a wildly unpopular conservative government...then when can they?

FYI, as the title indicates, the Provincial Archives of NB now have a YouTube channel.

For the most part, they're posting what are basically stop motion road trips of the old highways and byways from between, so far 1969 and 1971. As a native New Brunswicker it is really interesting to see the differences 50+ years makes in familiar areas. Even more interesting is the LACK of changes in many areas. One major difference I see is the shear number of service stations in areas where there is now not much of anything at all. For example, I had no idea that ten years before I was old enough to remember such things there was a Texaco at the end of the road on which I grew up. By the early 1980's it was long gone and no sign of it remained.

Hey all, I'm looking for some dog rescues in Atlantic canada. Any help appreciated.

Thanks

I got an offer for a customer service job for a european online gambling site but I want to know if I would get in trouble.

There is a clear christian leaning of religion in politics in NB.

We still have Christian prayer recital as part of the legislative assembly? . https://globalnews.ca/news/9392508/n-b-legislature-one-time-recital-hindu-prayer/

Why are election polling stations still held in christian churches in 2024? Any other religious buildings used this way? Nope.

Religious people are free to practice their beliefs (it's in the Canadian charter of rights). But it doesn't have to be in the politics. The Supreme Court has taken a strong stand on the separation of religion and state matters.

Supreme Court ruled, unanimously, in Mouvement laïque québécois v. Saguenay (City) that the municipal council in the Quebec town of Saguenay could not open its meetings with a Catholic prayer because, as the opinion explains, 

"When all is said and done, the state’s duty to protect every person’s freedom of conscience and religion means that it may not use its powers in such a way as to promote the participation of certain believers or non-believers in public life to the detriment of others.”

I live outside a small town and would like to put an old style log fence around my property. Very near my house is a Grove of dead cedar trees that I'd love to use, but I'm unsure of the rules around such a venture. Does anyone have an answer if this be okay or if this could back fire.

Hey all. My wife started working as a public school teacher this year. As we understanding it, there is a health insurance plan that teacher's can take part in where the province pays 50% and the teacher pays 50%. Where can we find info about that? Like how much it costs, what it covers?

I have a similar plan through my work, so we just want to compare and see which one is better for our family, but googling hasn't turned up anything with actual numbers.
